Ripping Boot! School Shoes Vou will have to go a long ways and look through a lot of shoes to find school shoes as good as those made by old man Kreider. Mr. Kreider stalled making school shoes in a little factory down in I ennsylvania a few years ago and today he has five large factories devoted to making nothing but girls’ and boys’ shoes. Considering the quality, we are selling these shoes at very reasonable prices. Ask us about them. Charlie Voglewede Sells A Lot Os Them

Canton, Ohio, Sept. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Carl Morris still reigned a 5 to 4 favorite early today as thousands of fight fans began thronging into Canton to see him battle with Fred Fulton this afternoon. Fulton money was more in evidence, however, and even toney may prevail by the time the heavies enter the ring at about 4 o’clock this afternoon. The fans figured Morris as the more rugged battler, which even overshadowed in their minds the gigantic reach of Fulton —83% inches from tip to tip—3% inches better than Morris can show. Morris has shown he can withstand terrific punishment, but Fulton has been known to wilt before a rugged assault. Morris has the advantage in weight, tipping the beam at 220% pounds to Fulton’s 215%. They compare as follows in other measurements: Waist—Fulton 35 inches; Morris 37 inches. Chest —Fultdn, 43 inches; Morris, 44 inches. Chest Expanded—Fulton. 48 inches; Morris. 47. > Neck —Fulton, 17% inches, Morris. 17%. Height—Fulton, 6 feet 5 inches; Morris, 6 feet 4 inches.

CONTINUED FIRES SWEEP NORTHWESTERN FORESTS. Washington. D. C.. Sept. 3-With the most serious fire situation in a number of years threatening millions of feet of western timber, it has been necessary for the forest service to suspend some of its operations in order to concentrate all available forces In fighting the forest fires. Reports received from the northwest indicate that the situation is more dangerous than at any time this year. In* Montana and northern Idaho two thousand men are fighting the flames under the direction of the forest rangers. In these two states alone approximately $170,n00 has already been spent this season, an dthat figure is increasing by approximately $15,000 a day. In Oregon and Washington valuable timber nitended to furnish airplant stock for tho fighting forces of the United States and its allies si being threatened by the flames. Logging operations are so badly interfered with that several large mills now supplying the government with this class of material may be forced to discontinue operations. Numerous fires are reported as the result of incendiarism. The reports state that in many places little or no rain has fallen for weeks. The forests are now so dry that any Are which occurs is apt to become a dangerous conflagration, while high winds make it difficult to control even the smallest blaze. With such conditions, it is pointed out. there is need to keep all persons out of the woods. In order to accomplish this the governor of Oregon has postponed the opening of the hunting season in that state. In spite of the unusually danger ous season, it is stated that until last week there has been a comparatively small loss of timber in the national private owners having suffered most of the damage done. This is largely explained as due to the increased efficiency of the fire-fighting force which has profited by the lessons of the past year. In many cases, too, luck, has been on the side of the rangers in handling particularly dangerous fires. The outbreak of fires in the past few days is taken by officials to indicate that the situation is growing more serious. The whole organization of the forest service, in the affected districts, is devoting itself exclusively to firefighting. In accordance with a prearranged plan, men from forests where they are no fires are relieving the rangers who have been worn out by their long exertions. While it may be possible to hold the damage to a minimum by these and other methods, officials say that not until the fall rains come will the danger cease.

CANNED ANY PICKLES? (United Tress Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Put up the pickles, and lots of them, says Indiana Pood Controller Dr. Harry B. Barnard. They may have little food value hut they help out many meals. His advice, issued through the United Press, follows: “The value of cucumbers, or other pickles lies chiefly in the fact that they are appetizers. They have little food value. They may even be indigestible, but it is an undisputed tact that a pickle makes a dry sandwich appetizing and that these acid products seem to have a particular place in the dietary. "After every glass jar has been tilled with fruits and vegetables the housewife may continue her preserving by filling the pickle pars. Pickles may be packed in barrels, kegs or casks. “Wash the pickles, and if necesthem in the container as follows: On the bottom of the barrel, place a layer of dill and a hand full of mixed spice. Add another layer of dill and another handful of spice when the barrel Is half full, and when almost full, add a third layer. If a keg or crock is used, the amount of dill and spice can be reduced in proportion to the size of the receptacle, add a layer of covering material —beet tops or grape leaves—about an inch thick. If any spoilage should occur on the surface, this layer will protect the vegetable beneath. Press down with a clean board weighted with bricks or stone. Do not use limestone or sandstone. Make a brine by adding one pound of salt to ten Quarts of water. To each ten quarters of brine so made, •add two-thirds o fa quart of vinegar. The vinegar is used primarily to keep down the growth of injurious bacteria until the lactic-acid ferment starts, but it also adds to the flavor. (Add sufficient brine to cover the material and allow to stand 24 hours. Then make air tight coverings, covering the surface with very hot melted paraffin or cotton wood oil or the .tasteless' liquid petroleum may be used for this purpose. Simplicity and Wisdom. To maintain oneself on this earth l Is not n hardship but a pastime. If oue will live simply and wisely.—Thoreau, 1 ... ■ — -

WEATHER BUREAU TO STUDY FOOD SHIPMENTS. Washington, D. C., Sept. 3—(Special to Dally Democrat) —To determine the best ways of shipping, handling, and transporting food products to avoid injury from unfavorable weather temperature or other injurious weather conditions, the United States weather bureau recently has solicited tho help of persons engaged in such work in compiling a manual of protective methods. The weather bureau specialists believe that the best experience of those engaged in handling products in shipment, if made available in bulletin form, would help to avoid much of the destruction and injury to food in transportation. Information is desired as to the best type of containers for various products; the methods of handling and packing; the most efficient types pf cars for use during hot and cold weather; devices for cooling, heating and ventilating the same, and special precautions to be taken with particular classes of goods; roundhousing methods or other housing of cars to secure additional protection enroute or at terminals; railroad inspection of perishables and cars, and accuracy of thermometers used; kinds of heaters and advantages and disadvantages; Icing requirements and regulations; protective value of wrapping paper; acceptance regulations as to low or high temperature limits; best form of waybill to secure attention enroute and at terminlals; salvage or restoration processes; protective methods to and from depots or cars on track; and sugges-1 tious as to weather bureau service to meet the requirements of shipper, merchant, and carrier. A publication similar to the one now contemplated, issued several years ago by the weather bureau, had a wide demand. Changing conditions have necessitated the revision of this publication.

ASKS CLUB WOMEN TO AID IN SCHOOL CAMPAIGN A special appeal to club women ’n the United States has been issued by the United States Commissioner of Education, Dr. F. P. Claxton, urging that the influence of the organizations they represent be given to the maintenance of the schools of the nation in their full efficiency during the present crisis. Dr. Claxton says: ‘Everywhere there seems to be fear lest our schools of all kinds and grades, and especially the public schools, will suffer this year because of conditions growing out of our entrance into the war. On the other hand, both for the present defence and for the future welfare of our country, as well as for the individual benefit of the children, it is of the greatest efficiency, both as to standards of work and attendance of children. “While the war continues there will be many unusual temptations to many kinds of juvenile delinquencies.

school and proper employment during out-of-schooi hours will be the children’s surest protection against su< h temptations. “When the Itqys and girls of school age have reached manhood and woman hood there will be need for a higher standard of intelligence, skill, and wisdom for the work of life and for tho duties and responsibilities of citizenship than we have ever yet attainted. Our schools must now be so sustained and improved as to enable them better to prepare our boys and girls for life and work in the new age which will follow the close of the war and the coming of peace. No boys and girls now be neglected or exploited for selfish ends. “In all this probably no others can be quite so helpful as the club women of the country, most of whom are also mothers of children. For this reason I am taking the liberty of suggesting to them that in all women’s clubs this should be made t subject of discussion at their first meetings this fall and from time to time throughout the year.
